'CALCIMINING AND WALL BRUSH.

1'; .rIQ'IFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 307,519, datedNovember 4, 1884.

Application filed October 23, 1883. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY BrN'rz, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Calcimining and WallBrushes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a side elevation of niyimproved brushes, partly in section.Fig. 2 is an edge elevation ofthe same,partl yin section, through thelinear m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view of the same, takenthrough the line 3 y, Fig. 2. Fig. at is a cross-section of the handle,taken through the line z 2, Fig. 1. Fig. 5is the same section as Fig. 4,but showing the parts before they are joined together.

The object of this invention is to facilitate the manufacture ofcalcimining and wall brushes, and also to promote convenience inrenewing the bristles when worn out.

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, aswill be hereinafter fully described and specifically set forth in theclaim.

A represents the bristles of the brush, the butts of which are insertedand glued in a sheetmetal band, B, forming the head of the brush.

0 is the handle, the lower end of which is. enlarged or widened to formthe body portion 0 to receive the head A B. The handle 0 is made of twopieces of sheet inetal struck up into the desired form, so as when theedges of the two parts are soldered together to form a hollow handleopen at its widened lower end, 7, to receive the brush-head A B, whichis secured in place by screws D, passing through the body portion 0 ofthe handle 0 and screwing into the band B.

The interior of the hollow handle 0 is filled with pl aster-of-paris Eor other suitable material before the brush-head has been inserted init, to keep the shell of the handle from readily bent or dented.

With this construction, when the bristles A become worn, the screws Dcan be taken out and the brush-head removed from the handle and replacedwith a new head, so that the brushes can be cheaply made and can berenewed at the expense of a new head without its being necessary to goto the expense of a new handle every time the bristles wear out.

I am aware that door-knobs and whip-handles have been formed of twopieces of struckup sheet metal joined at their edges and provided with acomposition filling; also, that the head or body of the brush has beencut out of sheet metal and folded into shape, the lower being part ofone of the sides of head being folded under the open end of said headand perforated to allow of bristles being passed therethrough. Twostrips were placed on the inner edges of the body portion, and screwspassing through the body portion and strips were secured by nuts on theopposite sides of the head. A socket for the handle was secured to saidbody portion by rivets; also, that other forms of brushes have beenprovided with a body portion and handle made of separate pieces; and Ido not claim, broadly, any of said constructions as of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- Asa new article of manufacture, a brush consisting ofthe head A B, a sheet-metal handle, O, and its body portion 0, Withinwhich body portion said head is removably secured,-

the said handle 0 and its body portion 0 being struck up in halves fromsheet metal and joined at their side and top edges, as shown, and afilling, E, in the handle portion 0, substantially as set forth.
